Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“When are you going to leave? ”

“Maybe I'd like to go tomorrow.... ”

“What about the people locked up in the village? ”

“We can't afford any more embarrassment, so we'll take him. The guy I caught this time, by the way. ”

“What's wrong with him? ”

“Can you take care of him, old lady? ”

“Me?”

Tehaz tilts his head. He came all the way to this desert and barely captured it. It was also the only clue we had to uncover information about the secret organization that was rarely real. Suddenly, they asked me to take over, so I don't understand.

Lycaen explains whether he guessed the idea of Tehaz.

“I thought it would be easier for the old lady to handle him than me. ”

I'm trying to have a conversation with Elisha, but I'm not expecting much. And I didn't think that even if Elisha succeeded in the conversation, she would be able to find out important information.

So, he decided that it would be better for the same nation, Tehaz, to take over than for the hard way.

“Well, maybe you should. ”

“But what does it matter what I hear? ”

Suddenly, curious Lycaen answered Tehaz's question as if it were nothing.

“Is there anything more I can say to the chiefs I'm serious about, other than rebuilding the kingdom of Byron? ”

Lycaen asks you a question as if it were a good time.

“But how are you going to make a place for people in that desert? Even if it's centered around an oasis, there's a limit to what it can do. ”

“What do you think the Virons' Clymouth looks like? ”

“Hmm? If it's Clymus... you mean that trick? ”

“Yes."

“Tsk, how would I know that? ”

Lycaen spits out with her face that she's done with the sound of stars.

“The climate here has always been like this. Only the ground wasn't sand. Climus of the Byronites was created while researching ways to draw water from this barren land. ”

Lycaen admired the story for the first time.

“Water? Well, I'm sure humans will do anything they need. Well, that's the water. What about the land? ”

“Clymouth has been differentiated into many different kinds thanks to the constant effort needed. ”

“Does that mean we're trying to change the land somehow? If you think about it, pulling water up is in the ground anyway, so even if it is possible, I don't think we should turn this sand into solid ground. ”

“Of course, it won't be easy, but it will someday. ”

“Hmmm... I mean, this is a really great person, Grandma. ”

“Do you understand now? This guy?”

“Well, I'll see you tomorrow. ”

“In the end, I can't. ”

Lycaen's words make Elisha uncomfortable.

“What's that look on your face when you suddenly tell me what's ridiculous? ”

To put it bluntly, Elisha was imprisoned by Lycaen. Nevertheless, the attitude of picking up was unbearable. However, Lycaen grins and moves his hands, smiling as if Elisha didn't have any emotion.

“Just close your eyes, it's nothing. ”

Together, Elisha's face is hooded again.

“Ugh! Can we not do this? ”

“When you find out about this place, the people here complain. Just hang in there. ”

Elisha is drawn back to the room where Lycaen had originally kept her captive.

“Phew!”

Elisha comes inside, sighing for a long time, and a knight approaches her. It was Cetus, Joe's elder, who came out to support Elisha.

“Elisha.”

“Yes?”

“Have you seen what's happening out there? ”

“It's on the hood.... ”

As Elisha shakes her head, Cedus gives a slight grimace and shakes his head at the other knights. Elisha watches you carefully.

“What's the matter? ”

“We can't stay locked up in a place like this forever. I need to get out of here somehow, but I think it might be helpful to know what's going on out there. ”

Elisha says with a worried expression.

“Isn't Manat in a state of inability right now? Since the situation is not good, I think it would be better to stay still for now... …. ”

“What? So we, the Knights of the Twilight, should still be captured by him? ”

“No, that's not what I meant... because I thought it would be dangerous. ”

Cedus frowns and looks at Elisha.

“Hmph, none of this humiliation would have happened if you had done it right. But you don't want to be held responsible. You want me to stay locked up. ”

“Of course, I'm really sorry about my mistake. However, if I don't know the situation outside, and I move quickly and get into trouble... ”

But Cedus no longer listens directly to Elisha.

“I think I'll take his side quietly.... ”

“W-what does that mean? When do you think I'm on whose side? In the same place.... ”

“Then we should try to set us free, no matter what we do to negotiate with him. That's what you do. Isn't that right?”

Elisha's weapon was a saying. She has a peculiar ability to persuade the opposing Pokémon, even though she is not a moonlighter. And the source of the persuasion was understanding. It was her way of understanding the other person's psychology, situation, thoughts, etc. and drawing out the answers she wanted based on them.

Due to continued incarceration, the condition of the knights was sharpened, unlike usual. When we get excited and are spoken to like this, we can only come out with an emotional response.

Elisha takes a deep breath and speaks calmly.

“What are our orders? ”

“I'm looking for the goods of Emperor Baja. ”

“That's right. He's got it. And the way things are going, we're going to go where they are. Think about it, I may not like being locked up like this, but if you wait patiently, you can fulfill the Emperor's command without any trouble. ”

“Of course you can. However, this does not eliminate us from our humiliation. If he's going to go where the goods are, he's right to take us. ”

The Knights of Dusk formally have the identity of an Independent knight of the imperial proximal knights.

An Independent Knight refers to a knight who is a member of the imperial guard, but is acting on a personal mission, not on an imperial duty. This is to hide the identity of the Knights of the twilight that should not be revealed externally, while maintaining the status of the knights so that there are no restrictions on fulfilling the mission.

However, the knights here consider the current situation a great humiliation. When I saw that I didn't have to bow my head to the confused nobles in the empire, I got drunk and forgot my nature.

“Yes? What the...! ”

Elisha's face is embarrassed. I could see what the knights were thinking at once. But I didn't understand her advantages.

"Is this where the Knights of the Twilight used to be? ’

When I think about it, I've never worked with knights like this before. I've been with knights before, but I've only been escorted when I go to dangerous places. So far, I thought of it as the pride of the knights.

However, after a dangerous situation, they were intoxicated by authority and already rotting away.

“From that person's point of view, this is what you do because you can become dangerous if you reveal yourself. Plus, the same reason I don't tell you his name. In addition to that, when you know his name, you can rather try to hurt yourself. If I could do what Caesar said, I would. But it's the only way to do that. But that doesn't mean it's harmful to us in particular. So thinking about that part.... ”

It was also what Lycaen had asked for, but Elisha was able to understand her thoughts and position. That is why we are taking a little discomfort. This is because each of us can work comfortably with each other.

However, the articles were not already in a "conversation" state. Once you block your ears on one side and start to interpret it however you want, the conversation will not continue from then on.

“Hmph! You took his side, leaving ours behind. What, did you go out there and have sex with him? Well, maybe it is when you talk to him. ”

“Come on, you! What the hell!”

Elisha shakes her shoulders and stares at Cedus. In this situation, Elisha's mouth couldn't have made a good sound. Elisha smiles, clearly laughing at everyone.

“Hmmm! That's why I couldn't beat one person when I was 20. He's in such a state of mind. Do you think he's trained properly? ”

“What?! ”

“Did I say something wrong? I can't believe that knights from the Knights of the Twilight can't defeat only one. A passing dog would laugh. Isn't that right?”

“I was just caught up in his weird tricks. Never if you fight fairly. ”

Elisha smiles deeper as she looks confidently at Cedus.

“Do you think it's fair for 20 people to come at one person? ”

“He's the one with the Emperor's things anyway. It means you're a sinner. He doesn't need to be a political party. ”

Elisha, who was making a weary face, asked me with serious curiosity.

“Do you realize you're not making any sense? ”

But Cetus has not already seen her.

“Tie her up! This bitch is no longer a knight of the twilight! ”

Another knight approaches Elisha. Elisha grins, grinning as if she had no more strength to deal with.

Cedus glances at Elisha and says to the knights,

“Implement immediately this evening. Prepare yourselves. ”
